APPEAL FROM HARVIE JORDAN.
Makes Call on Farmers Not to Give an Inch
Until Fight Has Been Won.
Atlanta, Octohor 21.-A considerable
part of tho now crop found its way into
tho markets so long as prices remained
abovo lt) cents, but since tho drop holow
10 cents per pound, nearly three weok's
ago, the producers throughout tho entire
coil M heit have called a halt and wo
now find tho spot situation absolutely
tied up. Tho port receipts have boon
heavy during that timo, but this has
V, J'.-en duo to tho hurrying forward of
shipments that wore purchased >rior to
tho recent depression. Very littlo cot
ton is now hoing olYored for salo any- I
whoro, and what is being sold is cotton
that is largely in the hands of negro
tenants who pay but little attontion to |
tho prico or tho course of the market. !
Merchants, bankers, guano dealers and
others have joined with tho planters in
resisting a markot which nt tho present
timo is too low and which has boon do
piesse-! by manipulation in speculation.
There can bo but one mothod for ad
vancing tho spot mai kel, and that is for
ho producers to stand brm and refuse
to part with their cotton until prices do |
reach satisfactory ligures. Tho Southern
Cotton Association, through its general
executive committee, in session at Asho
villo, N. C., September (1. after a full aud
thorough investigation of tho situation
from ovory standpoint, decided that ll
cents por pound was a reasonable mini
mum prico for this crop.
This prico can bo secured by tho
farmors if thoy will stand firmly for it.
Tho market for tho next two months will
bo regulated according to tho extent of
tho cotton that is rushod upon thc buyors
by tho producors. It is now being urgod
from many sections that tho people who
aro ahlo to do so get together in each
county and raiso funds sufficient to buy
n all tho cotton that is forced to salo
nd stine it for higher prices. This is
lready boing dono in somo counties, and
f it should become gonornl it would
rovo an important factor in advancing
e prices.
We faco another criBis, ami tho farmors

em. Dry goods aro advancing in prico,
ilo tho prico of tho raw material is

ton month?, and thoy havo no surplus
fall bnck on, and must havo tho staple
o raw cotton is in tho hands of tho
(lucers, and all thoy havo to do to arl
ee prions is to sit steady in tho boat
a short timo.

Spinners aro beginning to llguro on tho

ing prices upward. Tho crop in many

Many gins aro shutting down or running

organizations are agreed or. tho li con's

Stand firm and don't give an inch until
tho light is won.

THE NEWS FROM SENECA.
Seneca, October 24.-We wish to re

next Friday evening, the 27th instant,
thore will be given thom tho rarest op
portunity to see a really first class enter
tainment that has evor been afforded
boro, when "Human Hoarts" will be
presented. Tho very fact that it will bo
givon in Columbia Thursday night, tho
most popular night of fair wook, is sulti
eicnt proof of its excellence Our effi
cient mauager of tho opera house, 6. C.
liouedict, was enabled to secure tho
company by moro chanco, as it wore,
Friday hoing an uff night with it, as the
next presentation will bo in Birmingham
on Saturday night. We think inasmuch
as our people gouorally have vory limited
opportunity to soe really llrst-class
operas, that they will tako advantage of
this and seo "Human 1 lea ts." The Co
lumbia papers speak in the highest terms
of it, tho followiug hoing a clipping from

"Good plays, like good wine, improvo

marvelously successful melodrama, "Hu

pany to bo seen iu tho play this season
comprises nil of last year's favorites, and
wherever a part could bo improved upon
the change has boon made, and lt is
promised that never before has this beau
tiful play been so well prosontod. "Hu
man Hearts" giveB a pure, wholesome
lesson that touches tho benrt-strings in
tho pathetic ssenes nud excites the risi
bilities in tho humorous ones. The pa
thos and comedy aro so well blendod that
the audience is ill tears one moment
and convulsed with laughter the next.
Tho scouic equipment will be perfect in
ovory detail, so it is said, and tho man
agement has dono everything possible to
secure a llrst-class performauco.
Tile admission feo to "Human Hoarts"

Tho Wild Wost Show is also booked
for Friday. Tho concern seems to bo
well advertised, and will be a tent per
